Whohoo!!! :D It starts, I haven't tried anything with yet, but I can login and I get the splash page. I can't remember if I mentioned this before but you have run zmconfig.pl and loaded your config into the DB haven't you? Phil Um, er... well I uh did the first time, after re-reading that part of ...

Ok, I believe we are getting much, much closer here!!! service zm start Starting ZoneMinder: [ZM_DB_SERVER=localhost ] [ZM_DB_SERVER] [localhost] [ZM_DB_NAME=zm ] [ZM_DB_NAME] [zm] [ZM_DB_USER=zm ] [ZM_DB_USER] [zm] [ZM_DB_PASS=SumPassw0rd ] [ZM_DB_PASS] [Z0neMaster] Bareword "ZM_PATH_LOGS" not ...

Can I just easily edit those .pl files and hard code the db info, or does the problem run more deeply than that?

Did I pick the wrong version of ZoneMinder to start on?

Changed the pw! :oops: Here's the result: head -n 3 zm.conf | od -c 0000000 # Z o n e M i n d e r c o n 0000020 f i g \n Z M _ D B _ S E R V E R 0000040 = l o c a l h o s t \n Z M _ D B 0000060 _ N A M E = z m \n 0000071

Ok, it's a bit different than the previous error... service zm start Starting ZoneMinder: [ZM_DB_SERVER=localhost ] Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl line 53, <CONFIG> line 5. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local ...

Ok...
I should probably add that I didn't notice any difference, but I didn't know if I should do something else first.

I verified that I can logon to that db through MySQL as that user as well.

Trying to use 1.20.0 Everything seemed to compile, install and go fine. I am having 2 problems and I don't know if they're related. I chose during the installation to not use authentication, yet when I go to the ZoneMinder page, I get prompted. I try admin/admin and I just get the same prompt over ...
